Today's smartphones are more powerful than many computers from even just a few years ago. Unleash the power of your phone by giving it access to the same USB peripherals that make your PC easier to use - keyboards, mice, flash drives, and game controllers - using this USB On-The-Go Adapter from Monoprice!

USB On-The-Go is an extension of the USB 2.0 specification. Basically it allows an OTG equipped device, such as your phone, to act as USB host. In host mode, you can connect peripheral devices, such as keyboards, mice, drives, etc., to your phone the same as you would connect them to your PC. The Android operating system is a powerful OS that includes support for these external peripherals. With an OTG adapter you can connect them to your phone and use them the same as you would use them on a PC.

When combined with an MHL adapter to output the video from your phone to your HDTV, you've got a full-powered computer workstation in your pocket! Enjoy retro gaming using the proper controller for the emulated game system. Type up a report for work using a full-sized keyboard and mouse. You can even copy pictures and music from one phone to another without having to use a PC as an intermediate device.

OTG opens up a world of possibilities and helps you get the most out of your digital life!

Was able to use a keyboard and mouse on my android tablet. Good stuff.

Works with BlackBerry Passport

Pros: Right angle plug on Micro USB doesn't make it feel like you're going to break the port on your phone, so far it works with a keyboard, mouse, and any jump drive I've plugged into it.

Cons: NONE!

This device is a straight USB adapter with no conversions, just changes the size of your device port from Micro-USB to Standard-USB so if you have any connectivity issues: it's most likely an incompatibility with your host device, not the adapter.

Works perfectly

Pros: It works
Right-angle connector ideal for phones
Good length for phones

This adapter works perfectly for USB On-The-Go use. The length and right-angle connector make it very easy to use with my phone, since I don't want the cable protruding awkwardly. I mainly use it to connect USB flash drives, but I've also tested it successfully with a mouse and a keyboard.

For broken Android phones, this means YOU CAN ACCESS YOUR DATA BEHIND THAT SHATTERED, NON-RESPONSIVE SCREEN (in some cases).

Cons: None

This cable allows control of an Android device via external mouse and keyboard.

This becomes a lifesaver if the touch screen digitizer fails. On the OnePlus One, a shattered glass screen often breaks the touchscreen digitizer. The screen may be visible, but you cannot control it with swipes or touches.

Micro OTB USB Adapter to the rescue! Plug in this bad boy with a USB mouse dongle, fire up the mouse, and you have touch and click control. I did not connect a keyboard, but my understanding is a keyboard with its own mouse (USB or built in trackball) will work.

All I needed was the mouse touch control, and I was able to access applications to export data and run an FTP server to pull the files off the phone before sending it for repair.

The cable itself is an appropriate length, the connector attaches and releases normally, and the function has been 100% reliable.

Android users, I recommend you consider owning this as an affordable insurance policy against the possibility of a failed or broken mobile phone touchscreen digitizer.
